Firstly, don't assume that it is your right to get help through this forum. An attitude will not help you. If somebody who read your post knew the answer, I'm sure they would have helped.

Secondly, there are forums that are a little bit better tuned to the question you are asking. handhelds.org would be a good starting place.
